The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Any way to self host this? I don't want some rando hosting that server to own the art I make on there.
Edit: I just read their terms of service and they indeed own the shit you draw on there and sell it to third parties. Fuck this noise.
Maybe don’t draw art that you want to own on there?
Do you refuse to throw a piece of paper away because the landfill then owns it? If for any reason the thing you’re trying to convey is private and you want to retain ownership, then obviously don’t use it, and it’s great for you to call that out so others are aware. But to vehemently dismiss some functionality because you don’t find the utility worth the cost is short sighted and childish.
This is a very interesting point that raises a lot of questions; does throwing something in the trash by definition relinquish my ownership? What if I throw something away by accident? Where is the demarcation between my owning something and WM taking ownership? Does it then pass on to whomever owns the landfill, or subsequently whoever might dig it out of the trash? You've done gone and wrinkled my brain for the weekend.
Isn't this why dumpster diving is illegal in many places?
As far as I know that is usually mostly a liability problem. Scavenging can be dangerous in the activity itself, and you don't know "why" someone chose to throw away that "perfectly useable" thing. Maybe you get lucky and the reason was dumb, but there could be a very good reason. Either way the waste management company tells you not to, so when you get hurt or sick from doing it, it's on you.
